Chapter 1

In early spring, the Rooster Mountain is covered with tender green.

Qiao Xiaomai, dressed in shabby sackcloth, was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back. As soon as he came down the path in the mountain, he heard his neighbor's aunt Guilan shouting from a distance, "Mai! Go home, your mother will follow the salesman who often comes to the village." Ran!"

Zhuang Luhe ran away?
Qiao Mai was stunned.

"Why are you still standing there? Go back!" Aunt Guilan waved to her.

Qiao Mai came back to his senses, and quickly trotted towards home.

Aunt Guilan explained as she ran, "Your mother went to the town to sell sweet potatoes with your sister-in-law Chunhua in the morning, but she couldn't find anyone after wandering around. Later, someone saw her going towards the county town with that salesman!"

Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips, grabbed the firewood on her back, and sped up the speed.

Qiao Xiaomai's house is located in the westernmost part of Anping Village. The brand-new blue-brick and large tile-roofed house is particularly eye-catching among the earthen houses in the village.

When Qiao Xiaomai arrived home, many people had already gathered at the door. Her father, Qiao Changshun, was sitting on the stone in front of the door, sighing.

"Father!" Qiao Xiaomai ran over and shouted, and then looked at a long-faced woman among the onlookers with cold eyes, "Sister Chunhua, you went to town with my mother today, and you saw her with your own eyes. People ran away?"

Li Chunhua patted her thigh and said in a loud voice, "We are going to town today, she is going to sell her sweet potatoes, and I am going to sell my embroidery work. We have an appointment to meet at the gate of the town at noon."

"In the end, she was nowhere to be seen at noon. I hurried to inquire, and someone said that she followed a man to the direction of the county. That man is a shopkeeper who often comes to our village. Many people in the town know him!"

Qiao Mai nodded, "Thank you, Mrs. Chunhua, for telling me and my father the news."

As she spoke, she lifted Qiao Changshun who was sitting on the stone, stepped into the courtyard door, and closed the courtyard door with a bang, blocking out the outside discussions and sights.

She entered the kitchen, put down the firewood on her back, and opened the noodle tank to have a look.

It was empty, and only three catties of black flour and half a catty of white flour were gone.

She ran to the main room again, found an iron box under the bed in Qiao Changshun's room, opened it, it was empty, and dozens of copper plates were missing.

Staring at the empty tin box, she pursed her lips, stood up and went to the big wooden cabinet where she packed clothes. As she thought, Zhuang Lvhe's skirt disappeared, and only a few old clothes of Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami remained inside. clothing.

She who was only [-]% skeptical at first believed it now.

Zhuang Lvhe, the mother of this body, did run away with someone.

"Wheat..." Qiao Changshun stood at the door, his dark and thin face was full of sadness, and he rubbed his big callused hands, feeling very helpless.

Blame him.

He broke his leg while helping others to build a house half a year ago. Since then, he has not only been unable to do heavy work, but also has to drink medicine from time to time. He dragged down his decent family and made it the poorest family in the village.

So much so that now Zhuang Luhe couldn't stand being poor, and ran away with others.

Qiao Xiaomai took a deep breath, closed the closet, and said, "Father, life has to go on."

Looking at her calm face, Qiao Changshun was a little stunned. If this matter was put on someone else, he would have been out of breath from crying a long time ago, but Qiao Xiaomai only frowned.

He said worriedly, "Mai, isn't it..."

I was so sad that I didn't say these five words, there was a knock on the door, "Changshun, come out, I heard that your bitch ran away with the wild man, my mother came to see you !"
